Things may be a little different this year.  Over the last few years a lot players leaving early for the NBA have not done very well.  A player making the decision today may be more willing to take into account the amount of playing time they will actually get in the NBA or D-League in their decision.  Would you rather be the first or second best player on the team and get lots of playing time or just sit on the bench.  Yeah the money is great but sitting on the bench is not going to improve a player's game very quickly.  I think players might considered how best to have a long and more successful career in the NBA.  There's always going to be one or two players who are one and done and then become NBA superstars like Anthony or James.   But I don't think  Grant or Ennis fall into same category that includes Anthony and James.  As great and athletic Grant is on our team my impression is he would be just barely average in the NBA.  I doubt Ennis would have the kind of season MCW is having.  MCW is a freak of nature in which his natural abilities just work in the NBA.  Ennis would be less than average in the NBA at this point.  I doubt he would even get any playing time and would end up in the D-league after one year.  The NBA is a completely different animal that college ball.

I hope Ennis and Grant stay another year.  I think it will ultimately benefit them more in having a longer more successful NBA career.  This is just my opinion so for anyone who reads this do not go ape crazy calling me an idiot.
